The Blye Cyc Wall is pretty cool I guess. I don’t know.

The Center for Student Engagement! I have yet to actually visit there.

This art piece was found dead in building 17 in the Art Gallery. That’s a warning.

20160406_165852

The Art-O-Mat is right next to the Art Gallery.

This is the Division of the Arts offices, home to Mary Jo Kreindel.

This showcases what the Media Creation Lab is all about. It’s located in the library near the entrance. Not many students are in here, so it’s mostly quiet.

The media academic advisor, Judy Gates. She’s really nice and will be happy to help you figure out scheduling.

20160406_173751

This is the Indy Lab located in the Commons Area, which is inside building 17 on the second floor. It’s a very cool hangout spot for media arts students. It is also home to the offices of many media arts instructors. There’s usually always someone to help.

These are the flags inside building 1.

These are the dreaded turkeys that roam across the campus. Be prepared to see them often and please respect them. They’re just trying to live their lives, like us.

On my first stop I found the Equipment Checkout.  I even checked out a camera on Friday.  Those folks are really nice.

Scavenger Hunt 032
Here’s the Blue Cyc Wall.  It’s in building 17 and I am ready to do a shoot!

DSCN0662
This was closed when we went there.  So I guess this is pretty literal.

DSCN0687
I found the main art gallery in building 11.

DSCN0655
This is a cool little retro thing that I have never seen before.

DSCN0663
Again I can be pretty literal.  This is on the second floor of the center building.

DSCN0666 DSCN0667

Here is the sculpture outside the Health and Wellness building.  I had a little fun with this.

DSCN0685
This is the hand of Mary Jo Kreindel.  She is very nice but I guess she just doesn’t like having her picture taken.  My husband has the exact photo in his hunt.

DSCN0683
We found Ms. Gate’s office in building 11.  She was not there.

DSCN0672
Here’s where the cool kids in Media Arts hang out.

About Me

My name is John Warner Lee, I am twenty years old and was born in the northern suburbs of Chicago. I haven’t lived in the same state for more than two years since I was thirteen. Chicago will always be my home in my mind. I moved to Eugene on short notice after some complications with a school in Washington and have been loving it here ever since. I consider myself very lucky to have lived in a lot of places at such a young age. It has allowed me to meet a ton of people and something I’ve noticed knowing so many people is how small of a world this is. This summer I gave a speech in front of 300 people at my grandpas celebration of life. Seeing so many people come pay their respect, I soon after made it a goal in life to make as many connections with as many different people as I can. I have been into photography since I took a photo class in seventh grade. My teacher told me I had an eye and to keep it up, and as of recently that is what I have decided I want to do with my life. I try to switch up my style and what I shoot as much as I can. I am currently a volunteer photographer at the Wow Hall. I work at Joe’s Burgers on U of O’s campus making mountains of fries. I skateboard around everywhere and if its dry you can find me at the park. I plan to live in Eugene for the next year working on getting accepted in to a photo school somewhere in CA; take my new found media art knowledge with me !


LCC Campus Travel Log

Hey everyone!  Here is a brief log of important media arts locations at Lane Community College (LCC).  Enjoy…

 

Scavenger Hunt 037Muy importante, if you’re a media arts student.  Located on the first floor of bldg 17, this is where cameras, lighting equipment and supporting photography equipment can be checked out for projects.

 

Scavenger Hunt 034
This is the “Blue Cyc Wall” also located on the first floor of bldg 17.  This is part of the studio.  Looking at it, you might think, “I’d really like to try skateboarding on that thing”; probably discouraged, though, by faculty…just saying.

 

Scavenger Hunt 027
This is the Center for Student Engagement located on the 2nd floor of the Center bldg.  This office was closed when I snapped this picture, so I had to jump up above the privacy window to get this shot.  That’s my exercise for the week, haha.

 

Scavenger Hunt 066
This is the Main Art Gallery in bldg 11.  I liked this shot because of the juxtaposition of the images of the light switch and alarms to the art in the background.

 

Scavenger Hunt 021
This is the “Art-O-Mat” also located in bldg 11.  This brings back memories of buying cigarettes for my Dad when I was 5.  I remember it being really hard to pull those handles.  This machine is different, though.  Instead of cigarettes, it holds art…slightly more wholesome, don’t you think?

 

Scavenger Hunt 028
This is the Library located on the 2nd floor of the Center bldg.  Forgive the weird angle.  Tried to get creative while working around the man working at the counter off-camera on the right side of frame who didn’t wish to be photographed.

 

Scavenger Hunt 029.JPG
This is the large silver sculpture located in front of the Wellness Center.  Of the series, this is my favorite image.  When I took the picture I didn’t notice that a bird had decided to photobomb me in the upper right corner of the frame.

 

Scavenger Hunt 065
This is Mary Jo Kreindel’s office.  Yes, that is MJK’s hand.  She’s really nice.

 

Scavenger Hunt 069
Here are bank if Imacs in the Media Creation Lab located on the 2nd floor of the Center bldg.

 

Scavenger Hunt 063
Here’s Judy Gate’s office located on the 2nd floor bldg 11.

 

Scavenger Hunt 031
This is the “Commons” area of bldg 17.  Attached to this room are faculty offices and the “Indy Lab”.  These students are collaborating vigorously on a project.  Impressive.

 

Scavenger Hunt 071
Here are the flags located in the lobby of bldg 1.

 

Scavenger Hunt 058
Didn’t find any interesting construction, so opted for the turkey shot.  This fella was nice enough to puff up for me.

I hope you enjoyed the travel log.  Bye for now.

IMG_0334 This beautiful building is The Students First building and it brings frustration to many as students wait for financial aid advising and class counseling.


 

IMG_0350 This is a turkey. Be prepared to share the sidewalk with turkeys. It’ll be weird at first. You’ll  get use to it.

Just a L.A. Kid away from home.

Hello,

My name is Milton Pareta and I’m a film major. I grew up in Los Angeles, California and recently moved to Oregon last June. I know it sounds ironic that I moved from the film capital of the world to Oregon. Well it’s a bit of a story of why I moved to Oregon. I was going to Cal State Fullerton for about five years. I was going through personal and financial problems which made me move back to Los Angeles. I moved into a friend’s house. Last June I came to visit a friend who was graduating at the University of Oregon. It was a Saturday night we all went out and after the bars we went back home. On the way back from the bars a taxi driver ran two red lights while speeding and t-bone the car I was in. From this accident I suffered multiple injuries.  I spent two weeks in the hospital and few months rehabbing. I decided to stay in Oregon because of medical reason and it’s more affordable than Los Angeles.

I love to explore and try new things. Living in a big city there’s a lot of activities to do. Eugene in the other hand I have a hard time finding activities. It made me think Eugene as a farm town with nothing to do. Since I was a little kid movies have always been my passion. My goal in life is to win an Academy Award. I want to become a screenwriter but learn everything about film. I had an internship at a talent agency out in the Miracle Mile which taught me the business part. Hard work and dedication will help reach my goals.
